How To Show Up For A Friend Who Is Going Through A Divorce


Listen Later

You get a message and your heart sinks - “I’m going to do It, I’m going to ask him for a divorce”, it says. You knew your friend and her husband have been having trouble, but you didn’t know it would end up this way, and now you’re wondering how best to show up for her. Data shows that 50% of marriages end in divorce, often happening around the 8-year mark, and the process can take anywhere from 3 months to a year, and can cost up to $7000 for each person – so clearly, this is a time when our friend needs our support.

 

In this episode of the Friend Forward Podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson explores exactly how to do this, and speaks to two guests, both of whom have personally experienced divorce, and reflect on how their friends showed up for them.


 


Olivia Howell is the co-founder of Fresh Starts Registry, which has been mentioned in The Cut, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal. It’s a one-stop shop for everything you need to begin again, and Danielle sits down with Olivia to speak about her experience of divorce and the specific things her friends did to help her survive at the time.


This week, Danielle is also joined by Jasmine Chanelle. Jasmine has nearly 100k followers on Instagram, who follow along for her insights about how to enter into and thrive in entrepreneurship. But when she started sharing her own story of being a single mom and transitioning out of a marriage, she had even more women follow along for the journey. In this episode, she speaks to Danelle about her experience of divorce, and the role her friends played in supporting her.


 


And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week's homework.


 


To connect with Olivia, you can find her on Instagram, and you can check out Fresh Starts Registry via their Instagram page or their website.
